<TITLE>19. Par 159-170</TITLE>L-159 It's the same thing tonight, when a clear sounding voice says, "Sinner, repent, I'll give you Eternal Life." Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That's the summons. Nothing uncertain about it.
I'm a witness that it's true. There's other witnesses, millions of them throughout the world today, that's a witness that it's the truth. When the Bible comes, the Words of God, every Word of God is a trumpet. Every sound of the Word is a trumpet, the Gospel trumpet. And when It sounds, it's the truth. When it said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever," nothing uncertain about that. He's the same. Yes, sir.

L-161 "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Nothing uncertain about that.
"He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life. He that believeth on Me, though he were dead yet shall he live. He that liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" Nothing uncertain about that, "He shall live."
"He that eats My flesh and drinks My Blood has Eternal Life, and I'll raise him up again at the last day." Nothing uncertain about it, nothing, it's a certain sound.
Oh, I know it, I heard it sound in my poor Irish heart one day, me, a little old sinner. How could it ever be for me? But I believed it was a certain sound; I accepted It. I am a witness that it's true.
Someday He'll summons again; we'll go on out of the world. For there's no uncertain about that trumpet. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, no uncertain sound any time.
He sounds today when He calls us; it's just the same when He tells us anything.

L-167 Now, let's get back to the verse:
And a... behold, a throne was set in heaven... (2nd verse)... and one set on it.
Note, "the throne," He set on the throne. He wasn't no more back down in the candlesticks now, on earth. The rapture had done come. He was in glory, setting on His throne. I want you to notice on down, we'll find even in the 5th chapter; it was not the throne of mercy. It wasn't a throne of mercy any more; it was the throne of judgment. It wasn't a throne of grace. It's a throne of judgment because fire and lightning and thunders issued forth from it; no more; mercy's over, the church age was finished. "He that's filthy is filthy still; he that's righteous is righteous still; he that's holy is holy still," no more a throne of mercy.

L-169 Tonight, the Blood lays on that throne and it's a mercy seat for every sinner that's seeking mercy. But on that day, it won't be a mercy seat then; it'll be a judgment seat with a angry God setting there. "Where... If the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the sinner and ungodly appear?" Even when He comes in the clouds of His glory, the mountains will try to find a place to hide. Where are we going to stay then?
Oh, precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.

L-170 Oh, my, what a lesson. No uncertain sounds. And His throne:
... and He set on His throne. (He's no more here.)
Now, that's another thing; it's a proof that the church is caught up before the great tribulation. See? Why? Here He is on the throne in glory, and the church is gone, and then comes in the tribulation.
I always said that in the days of Noah, Noah was in the ark before one drop of rain fell. Lot was out of Sodom before the fire fell. And the church will be in glory before the atomic falls. That's right, before the atomic falls.
Say, "What about that first one?" It was on heathens, not Christians.
